Bearfootin Pond Lodge-on water with paddleboat

We had an amazing time at the cabin. The kids enjoyed the pond and the small creek. It’s a beautiful thing to see kids outside playing. Such a great home.

The cabin was so cozy and exactly as described. It's isolated enough to completely disconnect from busy life, but close enough to bigger towns for groceries and outings. We had a great time on the peddle boat and canoe around the pond. We fished from the dock and peddle boats and caught one small bluegill. The hot tub was clean and fully functional. The house was clean and stocked with everything you need to prepare meals with the groceries/spices you bring. We struggled with the charcoal grill since we are used to our own gas grill, but you can easily Google how to use it. The pond was serene. We had a lovely experience.

We just returned from the most enchanting stay at this beauticabin on Oliver’s Pond, and I’m already counting the days until we can go back. From the moment you pull up, the setting is absolutely breathtaking. The cabin sits right on the pond, surrounded by lush forest that feels like it’s hugging you from every side. The views are postcard-perfect—still water reflecting the trees and sky, with the most incredible light throughout the day.The peacefulness is next-level. There’s no road noise, no neighbors noise —just pure, restorative quiet broken only by birdsong, the occasional splash of a fish, and the gentle rustle of leaves. It’s the kind of place where you instantly exhale and feel the stress of everyday life melt away. The cabin itself is cozy, comfortable, and perfectly situated to take full advantage of the natural beauty all around it. Mornings with coffee on the deck, evenings watching the sun dip behind the trees… it’s pure magic.One night after sunset, we witnessed something I’ll never forget. The forest came alive as hundreds of lightning bugs began lighting up the woods like nature’s own fairy lights. The entire treeline was twinkling and sparkling in the darkness—it was absolutely mesmerizing and made the whole experience feel truly enchanted. We sat there for hours, just soaking it in.If you’re looking for a beautiful, peaceful escape that feels worlds away from everything, book this cabin!

This place is perfect for a relaxing getaway. Cabin and property are beautiful and very well maintained. The host was extremely friendly, helpful, and quick to respond. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a great stay! The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout our visit. The cabin was cozy yet spacious enough to comfortably accommodate five people and two dogs. Its location was convenient to nearby activities, which made it easy to explore the area. We loved fishing in the pond and were excited to catch a few bluegills and bass.

The cabin was everything it portrayed in the photos. The yard was great for the kids to run around in and they loved fishing off the dock. We had some snow flurries as well a few mornings which was icing on the cake. The cabin is in the perfect spot, there are hiking trails nearby without having to travel an hour. The home was cozy. As a family of 5 with 3 kids in all different stages of life -it was nice to enjoy spending time together without the distractions of life. Thank you again for making this a memorable week for our family.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin over Thanksgiving! Our kids enjoyed fishing in the pond, although we didn't catch any fish in it, Mercier Orchards apple farm was a short drive away and we caught bluegill there. We paddled around the pond on the canoe and the kids likely would have jumped in the water if it wasn't so cold! It's close to Cowgirl Up Stables where we all got on horses and rode through trails and streams and had a blast! Blue Ridge is about a 20 minute drive away. Overall, I'd say we didn't have any problems were happy we chose this cabin.

Our host was very accommodating, and easy to communicate with. The house was very well maintained and well stocked. The pond on property was charming and the hot tub was perfect. Day trips from the house were easy to find and it made for a great weekend of exploring!

The cabin was everything we wanted and more! Tucked away but not 100000ft up a mountain lol. We loved having the extra property so the kids could run around freely! My husband loved the pond and fire pit out back! My favorite was the gas fireplace that lit up with no effort and was SO cozy! The cabin had everything to cook and eat at home. The shower was comfortable and clean and had great pressure and hot water, all very important! Oh! The washer and dryer was a HUGE plus! I was able to have everything washed, dried and clean before going home! Made getting home and unpacking a breeze definitely recommend!! Cherry Log has a very small population however very close to 2 great city’s with everything you need ! We all really enjoyed our family vacation and expect to be back!

We checked in to this cabin after 6pm, brought in groceries, fished in the pond and then my husband went to bed. I stayed up a bit later and I kept smelling gas in the house and it was making feel a bit nauseous, and since I don’t have gas in my home, I messaged to host if it was normal to smell gas? Host told me to check the fireplace pilot and the stove. Well I found that the stove was on! The gas had been on for hours. I had to wake up my husband to be sure he was ok and then open up all doors and windows to air out the house. Some windows wouldn’t open and others didn’t have screens. I was debating calling fire dept. I didn’t sleep at all that night and kept window open rest of stay just in case. We could have gotten very ill or even died in our sleep if I had not stayed up instead of going straight to bed like my husband. So BEWARE if you stay here and check to be sure the gas is not on. Also, host is adamant you put trash bags in the black cans outside. The black can was already overstuffed with previous tenants trash and stinking and buggy. And the Black can was located on a rickety falling apart unsafe shed porch.

Beautiful, peaceful, and clean.

Fun location right on a beautiful pond with lots of outdoor space for the kids to run and play!

A lovely and much needed respite. The house is cute and clean and the area’s natural beauty is stunning. Thank you.

The Property Manager was very communicative. Making sure we were prepared to arrive and understood how to get in. He followed up with us the first day to make sure we were happy and have us info to contact if we needed anything. And followed up again before we left to ensure we understood the check out. The Cabin was spotless and very comfortable. Its located such that we had day trips to Ellijay, Blue Ridge and Dahlonaga. Plenty of hiking trails near as well. We loved the hot tub after a busy day. We didn't get to use the firepit but it is lovely. It sits right next to the pond very pretty. Area is quiet and they have canoe or pale boat available, but we didn't get to use that either. We will definitely be back and hopefully won't be so busy so we can take advantage of the firepit and canoe. Definitely recommend!
